E-mail: [email protected] [Kumar, R. & Ramamurthy, V. V. 2012. Checklist of the genus Eublemma Hübner, 1821 (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Eublemminae). Munis Entomology & Zoology, 7 (2): 1227- 1251] ABSTRACT: Eublemma is an economically important genus which consists 339 species and 269 synonyms from 73 countries. This genus belongs to family Noctuidae and subfamily Eublemminae of Order Lepidoptera. Most of the species of this genus considered as pests and few as predators. In this manuscript all the synonyms and new species have been compiled together along with geographical distribution upto year 2010. KEY WORDS: Eublemma, checklist, Eublemminae, Noctuidae, Lepidoptera. The genus Eublemma was erected by Hübner (1821) with one species Eublemma raspersa from Europe. This genus belongs to the family Noctuidae and subfamily Eublemminae under the order Lepidoptera. The genus is a taxonomically and biologically diverse. On the biodiversity point of view it is a large group of small to very small, but often robust. Usually, the larvae semilooper with greatest diversity is in the tropics, particularly in open habitats and sawavanna. The genus Eublemma is economically important and taxonomically ill defined (Kitching, 1984). There are 339 species of which 14 occur in India and these species recorded in 73 countries and islands by 63 authors. MATERIALS AND METHODS The material available in the National pusa Collection (NPC) of the Division of Entomology, Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi and specimens from the collections of Zoological Survey of India. Kolkata included. The literature were procured from Library, ZSI, Kolkata; The library, IARI, New Delhi; Panjab University, Chandigarh, Punjab. All the species have incorporated from the available literature upto 2010 from the database of Zoological Records, CABI and Lepindex. RESULT AND DISCUSSION Eublemma was first described by Hübner (1821). An analysis of fauna described during the different periods indicates that most of the species were known and described between 1891-1918. An analysis made on the contributions of the different lepidopterists indicates that Hampson was significant contributor. Hampson’s contribution was mostly towards the South Africa and African countries and described numerous numbers of species from Africa continent. The zoogeographical distribution indicates that it is predominant in Africa. The maximum species biodiversity is found in South Africa (41) followed by Yemen (21); Kenya (17); Australia (17); Madagascar (14); India (14); Algeria (14) and 1228 _____________Mun. Ent. Zool. Vol. 7, No. 2, June 2012__________ Nigeria (11) and other 65 countries, which is given in Table 1,2. In India, it is distributed in most of the places. There are 269 synonyms of Eublemma spp. recorded from the available literature. This genus is ill-defined, unexplored and needs redescription for most of the species. The information available on the economic importance indicates that, some species are occurring as pests and predators. The moth, Eublemma amabilis Moore is very destructive to lac insect and lac encrustation (Rahman et al., 2007). A single larva of E. amabilis damages 42-50 matured cells prior to pupation. Likewise, Eublemma scitula is an important predator of brown scale insect, Saissetia coffeae, which is a serious pest of pointed gourd, Trichosanthes dioica in India (Pathak et al., 2003). Most of the species recorded as pests i.e. Eublemma silicula Swinhoe on pearl millet, Pennisetum typhoides (Burm.) (Kishore, 1996); Eublemma dimidialis Fabricius on green gram, Vigna radiata (L.) (Singh et al., 1986). However, this genus is economically important and shows the diversified nature i.e., pests and predators in nature. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This work was done under the Project entitled “Network Project on Insect Biosystematics” funded by ICAR (Indian Council of Agricultural Research) and financial aid given by ICAR is gratefully acknowledged.

During the present study, a total of 675 moth specimens were collected from the study area which represented 112 species from 16 families and eight super families. Though much of the species has been reported earlier from other parts of India, 15 species were first records for the state of Kerala. The highest species richness was shown by the family Erebidae and the least by the families Lasiocampidae, Uraniidae, Notodontidae, Pyralidae, Yponomeutidae, Zygaenidae and Hepialidae with one species each. The results of this preliminary study are promising; it sheds light on the unknown biodiversity of Vagamon hills which needs to be strengthened through comprehensive future surveys.

In particular, this assistance was provided by Deby Snodgrass, Kris Marek, and Doug Hawthorne – all from the Oklahoma City office of the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department. However, it was particularly the assistance provided by Grant Gerondale, Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Sand Springs, Oklahoma, that initiated the work associated with this RMP. Grant provided a number of documents, hosted an on-site tour of the Ancient Forest, and shared his passion for this property. It is the purpose of the Resource Management Plan to be a living document to assist with decisions related to the resources within the park and the management of those resources. The authors’ desire is to assist decision-makers in providing high quality outdoor recreation experiences and resources for current visitors, while protecting the experiences and the resources for future generations.

Noctuoidea are the largest superfamily of Lepidoptera which have not yet fully investigated in Iran. In order to inventories such important group, faunistic studies on the families Erebidae, Nolidae and Euteliidae were made by light traps mainly in the three Iranian provinces of Fars, Khuzestan and Khorasan-e-Razavi during 2009-2011. Totally, 42 taxa belonging to 26 genera and 7 subfamilies were collected. Among these, one species – Drasteria kusnezovi (John, 1910) – is newly reported for the Iranian fauna, together with 23 new provincial records. For all species, illustrations of adults and their genitalia are given with remarks. KEY WORDS: fauna, Noctuoidea, new record, Drasteria, distribution.

  • Scottish Macro-Moth List, 2015
    Notes on the Scottish Macro-moth List, 2015 This list aims to include every species of macro-moth reliably recorded in Scotland, with an assessment of its Scottish status, as guidance for observers contributing to the National Moth Recording Scheme (NMRS). It updates and amends the previous lists of 2009, 2011, 2012 & 2014. The requirement for inclusion on this checklist is a minimum of one record that is beyond reasonable doubt. Plausible but unproven species are relegated to an appendix, awaiting confirmation or further records. Unlikely species and known errors are omitted altogether, even if published records exist. Note that inclusion in the Scottish Invertebrate Records Index (SIRI) does not imply credibility. At one time or another, virtually every macro-moth on the British list has been reported from Scotland. Many of these claims are almost certainly misidentifications or other errors, including name confusion. However, because the County Moth Recorder (CMR) has the final say, dubious Scottish records for some unlikely species appear in the NMRS dataset. A modern complication involves the unwitting transportation of moths inside the traps of visiting lepidopterists. Then on the first night of their stay they record a species never seen before or afterwards by the local observers. Various such instances are known or suspected, including three for my own vice-county of Banffshire. Surprising species found in visitors’ traps the first time they are used here should always be regarded with caution. Clerical slips – the wrong scientific name scribbled in a notebook – have long caused confusion. An even greater modern problem involves errors when computerising the data.
